Carole filmed the reunion and announced she was leaving immediately afterwards. They film those reunions for 12+ hours; no producer is really in the right frame to declare that evening that Carole had to go. It's not totally clear that Carole quit, but it's more likely than not that she did. Heather had been hinting about quitting before before they taped the reunion and ratcheted it up after they filmed the reunion. She announced her departure right after the reunion aired. I think she also quit. I think Dorinda was given an ultimatum that she had to go to therapy and/or rehab and it had to be part of her storyline next season. I think Dorinda quit rather than officially admit that she has an alcohol problem, problems with other substances, and other behavioral health issues. Dorinda kept harping on the difference between Lu's drinking and her own. Getting arrested is this clear boundary line for Dorinda. Officially announcing her problems is just something she doesn't want to ever do. From the moment Lu was arrested, viewers have consistently said that they didn't think Luann was alcoholic, but that Dorinda, Sonja, and Tinsley might actually be. When Dorinda saw this she stopped drinking for a time, got a personal trainer, and tried to act as if quitting alcohol was just part of her new fitness routine. She'll never admit her substance problems. The end of August is around when they'd normally begin early contract negotiations and preproduction. They might have told her that she needed to be in rehab for 28 days, they didn't want to lose her for principal photography, and this meant she had to go to rehab in the next month or so. Dorinda probably flipped out and quit. Putting all the media pieces together, I think HunterHunted nailed it.

Yes, remember this season when she threw "tea party" for all the ladies on the roof top recreation area of the building. Now is makes sense: it was a way to showcase the building. I thought it was so odd when Dorinda first moved into the building that she was filmed going to the local businesses and introducing herself. Now that makes a bit more sense if the news of Dorinda living rent free in her apartment is true. But honestly, every time I saw her in her apartment I wondered why she chose that shoebox over another shoebox? Scenes of Dorinda and John cooking in her kitchen which barely had room for one person, let alone two. Even this episode when they were filming Dorinda lying on her couch with the Christmas tree behind the couch, I kind of felt sorry for her to be living in such an uninspired space. Who would look at where Dorinda lives and want to live there? Her apartment does nothing for me, inside or out.

amarante August 29, 2020 Share August 29, 2020 (edited) I don't think Dorinda quit. She has nothing going in her life except for the show. Beyond the salary from the show itself, there are enormous financial benefits in terms of promotional opportunity. Not to mention the narcissistic satisfaction she gets from being "famous". The only housewives that have credibly quit have no financial need for the show's income and realize that they are heading for the point of having their reputations trashed to the detriment of their families and/or the business. Bethenny quit - Heather Thompson quit. Heather Dubrow quit. I am fairly certain that Carole Radziiwill quit. What do all of these women have in common - they value their "real" lives and don't need the show for financial benefits or the narcissistic rush of being a "star". Other housewives are allowed to say they quit because that is how in works in show business.

Not all of them are using them. Dorinda has extreme highlights. If you look at their makeup, it is in those places which are theoretically supposed to catch the light - cheekbones most commonly although other typical places are just above upper lift - a bit on the nose and in certain places on the forehead. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1875-real-housewives-in-the-media/page/40/#findComment-6318273

She didn't like Ramona (chased her around a party grinning at her to annoy her, the AC incident in The Berkshires, The infamous Man Ramona brought back to the vacation home,...), she was fed up with Sonja and her sexy J, and she's friends with Dorinda. I don't remember if she had any issues with Lu. On the bright side, there won't be another know-it-all competition (Bethenny, and possibly Dorinda). But, if she's coming back to use the show and the viewers to sell her nutrition plans or whatever she's hawking these days (she admitted that with Yummy Tummy), then No Thank You. Been there. Done that. Edited September 7, 2020 by SweetieDarling 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1875-real-housewives-in-the-media/page/40/#findComment-6333276
MaggieG September 9, 2020 Share September 9, 2020 Heather was a favorite of mine so I would love it if she returned but I'm also hesitant. I liked Lydia the first times she was on OC but hated her when she came back. On 9/7/2020 at 5:18 PM, SweetieDarling said: I'm not sure why she'd come back.

Done that. The only issues I remember her having with Lu was her barging into Lu's room about the guy that Ramona brought home and let sleep in the room next to her. That led to Lu's famous "Be cool. Don't be all..uncool" quote. I don't think she was too bothered by the AC incident in the Berkshires. She was pretty fed up with Sonja, especially when they were going to Atlantic City and Sonja wouldn't let them wait in her house so they had to wait outside in the cold. I'll watch WWHL and see what she says. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1875-real-housewives-in-the-media/page/40/#findComment-6336359
chewycandy September 9, 2020 Share September 9, 2020 But why would she need to let Andy as well as the viewers know if she was returning? 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1875-real-housewives-in-the-media/page/40/#findComment-6336974

Her "momma" and "holla" schtik was like fingernails on a chalkboard for me. Plus, she is condescending, although unwittingly I think.

SunnyBeBe September 11, 2020 Share September 11, 2020 (edited) Heather Thompson is on WWHL now. Zero makeup. I normally like that on most people, but......idk..I think she really needs some. Why does she keep saying Holla? It’s weird. So yesteryear. Like saying DYNOMITE!

Hannah said something like she's never been more proud of her mom and what she's accomplished than at this particular time. I don't think I have the language quite right, but it was an odd thing to say - as if Dorinda had evolved from a not-so-good place to a reasonable place and that she had to praise her for her accomplishment. Like a child or something. It is also interesting that Hannah doesn't drink. That could be for a variety of reasons, but one of them could be because of what it has done to her mother. What little I've seen of Hannah, I actually really like. At one point a few years ago, Hannah said something about how "bad" things were - I can't remember if it was before Dorinda married Richard or after he died. But I got the impression that it was very bad. I actually feel bad for her because like the children of other narcissists, Hannah has probably spent her whole life seeking her manipulative mother's approval and not really getting it. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1875-real-housewives-in-the-media/page/40/#findComment-6339674

I can't verify but I had a friend in college who is/was a NYer who said she knew Hannah from younger years and said she was horrible. Something about apples and trees lol. Again, can't verify because I wasn't there, but I don't think it's hard to believe.

Daughter of a NM. I can relate to this and if this is the case, I feel for Hannah. I also want to tell her to give up. It will never happen, at least not long-term. Love is earned and temporary based on what you’ve done for your NM lately. : ( 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1875-real-housewives-in-the-media/page/40/#findComment-6340180

Starlight925 September 12, 2020 Share September 12, 2020 (edited) Heather on WWHL was so annoying, with this giant sh*t-eating grin the entire time. Like, she couldn't/wouldn't close her mouth. Plus the whole "holla" stuff, which she still does....ugh. Also on WWHL the same time was Erin Andrews, the famous female sportscaster. She's absolutely stunning, and she has such a fun personality. When the two women were shown at the same time, Heather became that much uglier by comparison. Not hating on a woman for her looks, but she had that annoying giant grin, no makeup, and her stupid holla, while Erin had fun answers, a naturally done look, and just had that kind of persona where you knew that if you ran into both women at a party, you'd be drawn more to Erin. And Heather's big announcement....that she has a podcast. Okie. Dokie. Let me add that to the list of 18 million other podcasts by has-been reality stars.

Chicklet September 12, 2020 Share September 12, 2020 Heather was useless on WWH, she knows she had to support Dorinda and diss Tinsley or the shit would hit the fan and Dorinda would go off on her. But you could see her wheels spin as she tried to couch those comments in the most positive way possible. Sorry Heather, I used to like you and you should have told everyone that Dorinda is a shrew to Tinsley. To Dorinda this was a pass to continue acting like a crazy woman. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1875-real-housewives-in-the-media/page/40/#findComment-6342473

Why on earth would she care about what Dorinda has to say? What impact does she have on Heath's world. Doubt they travel much in the same circles and Heather has tao young chikdten. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1875-real-housewives-in-the-media/page/40/#findComment-6342585
